WeRIDE
WeRIDE was soft-launched in Avondale in October 2022, then fully launched in both Avondale and Goodyear in November 2022. It is the first microtransit service of its kind in the West Valley. It partially replaced most of the Avondale ZOOM route at the time, and eventually fully replaced it in 2023. Surprise implemented WeRIDE service in April 2023, but eliminated it in 2025. Peoria also tested out providing WeRIDE service in January 2025, but replaced it with their own in-house service in April 2026.
